define FAME ...
Is it called "the Hall of Fame if you played long enough"?
Or is it called simply "the Hall of Fame"?
Seems like the first and foremost criteria is FAME, no?
I still don't get the longevity deal - either you were great or not - longevity should just add to your prowess.
Poor Roger Maris - multiple MVP award winner - World Series winner - Owner of the most hallowed single season record in all of sports. Maris just oozes FAME - cannot deny.
Bo Jackson - probably the most famous athlete of his day - TV ads galore, posters galore, every kid wanted his cards. Experts call him the greatest athlete of the past 50 years, maybe greatest ever.
Jim Thorpe got into Football Hall with less of a career than Bo.
Somebody please recognize true FAME and let in these 2 guys.
Who was more famous? Ron Santo, or Maris and Bo?
